Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Lovely unoaked Chardonnay from Niagara. Pale lemon green colour with a harmonious bouquet - pear, peach, apple, floral undertones of honeysuckle and lillies with a hint of crisp melon and wet stones. Quite vibrant. Flavours are divinely divided between crisp citrus and fruit driven floral and apples. Also a crisp herbal note, almost cilantro-like. High acidity, bone dry with a medium minus body and finish. Mouth watering and refreshing. Pair with chicken and pho dishes. 88 points
Matt Steeves rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Konzelmann's Unoaked Chardonnay is a great value-priced white wine to enjoy whether it's with a fine Autumn meal or simply enjoying a glass of crisp white wine after a big day. The nose shows ripe orchard fruit (picture Golden Delicious apple, nectarine, and pear), with a hint of vanilla bean and lemon drops contributing to the attractive aromatic profile. The palate is refreshing with a creamy baked apple and spice finish. If you like Pinot Grigio then you'll love this slightly richer wine, especially when enjoyed throughout the Autumn as we transition from lighter summer fare to fall harvest meals. Enjoy with Butternut Squash soup, Thanksgiving meals, or chicken noodle soup. Tasted September 2017. Great value for $12.95. 87+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
